Pepper - Side B - Round 2
I feel like When I'm Sixty Four should be the choice to go this round, but a case could be made for a couple of other songs. Good Morning Good Morning is pretty weak, but it has some nice guitar licks towards the end and Lennon's lyric is entertainingly bizarre.

I can't wait for the stupid reprise to win this side.

A day in the life of Kory.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.

If that happens the poll is automatically over. In fact, I think there would never be a poll around here again.

Re: Pepper - Side B - Round 2
I can't see the issue with how short it is. It's the most energetic thing on the album and injects something into proceedings. Love Macca's out of control hollering near the end.

Nothing will beat A Day In the Life but the reprise is my second favourite thing on the whole album.WestwayKid wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 2:51pmIf that happens the poll is automatically over. In fact, I think there would never be a poll around here again.

Re: Pepper - Side B - Round 2
I just don't buy that if there's something you couldn't convincingly put on a compilation to stand on its own, then it's not worthy of voting for best song. It exists as a framing device within this album only.
